BACKGROUND

1. Field

The present disclosure relates to an organometallic compound and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, and short response times. In addition, OLEDs exhibit excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.

In an example, an organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer including an emission layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. A hole transport region may be disposed between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be disposed between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons change from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

Different types of organic light emitting devices are known. However, there still remains a need in OLEDs having low driving voltage, high efficiency, high brightness, and long lifespan.

SUMMARY

Provided are a novel organometallic compound and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

Additional aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the presented exemplary embodiments.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the exemplary embodiments, taken in conjunction with FIG. 1 which is a schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting device according to an exemplary embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present exemplary embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the exemplary embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly in contact with the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present.

It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the present embodiments.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

The term “or” means “and/or.” It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this general inventive concept belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

“About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value.

Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be selected from Compounds 1 to 288, but is not limited thereto:

Regarding the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1, L₁ is represented by Formula 2, and CY₁ in Formula 2 is a C₁-C₁₈ condensed cyclic ring i) in which two to four unsaturated 6-membered rings are condensed to each other and ii) which optionally has nitrogen (N) as a ring forming atom. Due to this structure, the charge mobility of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be improved, and accordingly, an electric device, such as an organic light-emitting device, including the organometallic compound, may have long lifespan characteristics.

In addition, since the sum of b5 and b6 in Formula 2 is 1 or greater, a ligand represented by Formula 2 has at least one silyl group. In some embodiments, b5 may be 1, 2, or 3. Accordingly, a pyridine ring in the ligand represented by Formula 2 may have at least one silyl group. Due to this structure, a device, such as an organic light-emitting device, including the organometallic compound, may have high efficiency and a long lifespan.

Evaluation Example 2 Evaluation on Characteristics of Organic Light-Emitting Devices

The driving voltage, current efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting devices manufactured according to Examples 2 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated by using Keithley 2400 and luminance meter Minolta Cs-1000A. The driving voltage and current efficiency of the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 2 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were expressed in a relative value with respect to the driving voltage and current efficiency of the organic light-emitting device of Example 1 which were each expressed as “100”. Their relative values are shown in Table 4. Regarding Table 4, a lifespan (T₉₅) indicates a time that lapses when luminance is decreased to 95% of the initial luminance under 6,000 nit, which is 100%, after driving. In Table 4, the lifespans (T₉₅) of Examples 2 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are expressed as relative values when the lifespan (T₉₅) of the organic light-emitting device of Example 1 is “100.”
